“Y DRIVE-IN east of Wellsboro took its name from the Y-shaped intersection of US 6 and PA Route 660 that it sat against. Route 660 was the original alignment of US 6 until the current road was built between Mansfield and Whitneyville in 1941. Larry Woodin opened the Y Drive opened at the intersection 11 years later. Woodin also owned the Acadia Theater in downtown Wellsboro. Movies lit up the night time sky at the Y until 1986.”
